3:02 am

Kallia

good morning Sprite.....you are in a sunny mood today :)

3:02 am

rubyfoo

those are all pieces of songs I should know, but I think I need more coffee before I can retrieve the lyrics!

3:02 am

rubyfoo

hello kalia

3:02 am

sprite

hi Kallia, I fake it till I make it, lol.

3:02 am

Kallia

good morning Ruby

3:02 am

Kallia

oh yes I know all about that

3:03 am

sprite

:D

3:03 am

Kallia

but it is a sunny day here

3:03 am

Christine

Rubyfoo - sorry for the delay. jhb is my sister Judith

3:03 am

Kallia

cold though

3:04 am

Christine

Sprite, how is your husband?

3:04 am

sprite

here as well, cold but sunny. I don't mind cold, if it means it is sunny though. Could easily stand this weather until end of march, personally.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

ahah, that is lovely, to have a sister who plays. Mine won't even get a computer!

3:04 am

rubyfoo

stubborn like a chow

3:05 am

sprite

my husband is doing well! He is out today, canoeing on wild water 1 in open canoe, teaching a friend how to do it.

3:07 am

sprite

Christine, such a charming church you have there.

3:10 am

sprite

...test...

3:11 am

Christine

It's beautiful inside, too. Very small, a copy of a Scots village church.

3:11 am

sprite

it looks beautiful. Must have a special atmosphere as well, I bet.

3:12 am

Christine

Rubyfoo, we have another sister (in UK) who used to play, about 6 or 7 years ago, then she stopped. I think she's very vusy with g'chikldren, and researching our family tree.

3:12 am

sprite

rubyfoo, maybe she does not feel up to learning something so new and alien.

3:13 am

Christine

*oops - busy with g'children

3:13 am

rubyfoo

my sister, too, grandchildren and familty tree. But she refuses to get a computer which I think is crazy as she has 3 teenage grandsons, all of whom use computers and live far from her

3:13 am

rubyfoo

She expects handwritten letters which won't happen

3:13 am

sprite

lol fuzzy or busy...

3:14 am

Christine

Smart girl, not to get a computer -- look how much time we spend online.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

but she's a very good typist and I think feels that way to set herself apart

3:14 am

sprite

she is depriving herself and her grandsons of a lot of fun and easy contact. Handwritten letters? LOL!

3:15 am

rubyfoo

I type much faster than I write

3:15 am

sprite

Christine, so true. But without the computer, I would be very isolated.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

my life, isolated here in France, would be impossible without a computer

3:17 am

sprite

well I think demanding other people to live by your rules is taking it too far, grin. So what does she do? Send back typed letters unopened?

3:17 am

Kallia

that's me done for now. 52 left after first pass, about 20 mins doubt the rest will come as easy lol

3:18 am

sprite

lol Kallia, but wtg!

3:18 am

rubyfoo

typing is OK, but no computer. Can you imagine teenage boys going to the post office to mail letters?

3:18 am

Kallia

see you all later maybe

3:18 am

sprite

I hope so, Kallia. Have a lovelly day.

3:18 am

sprite

lovely* even

3:18 am

rubyfoo

bye kalia, that was very quick. I have 96 only

3:18 am

sprite

rubyfoo, mine does

3:19 am

rubyfoo

you have raised your children right, sprite!!!!

3:19 am

Christine

Here, in Los Angeles, the mailboxes have been removed, for me to mail a letter I must go to the postoffice, and thats about $15. each way (plus tip), so I write very few letters. But my sisters (in UK and NZ) and I stay in touch online or on the 'phone.

3:20 am

sprite

trying to, rubyfoo, trying to

3:20 am

sprite

Christine, mailboxes removed?? My, that is drastic.

3:21 am

rubyfoo

that is like trying to find a pay hone in NY; they've gotten rid of them by attrition

3:21 am

Christine

I remember when I first came to the US, transatlantic calls were so expensive, letters really were the only way we could afford to stay in contact.

3:21 am

sprite

how fast the wo5 changes...

3:21 am

dizgrannie

just had a quick read thro, my g/kids and I keep in touch thro webcam and their cousins (with each other) thro email etc..so much more conveinient although I still prefer receiving REAL mail...LOL

3:21 am

rubyfoo

years and years ago, when I lived in Paris, my mother and I used to write to each other several times a week -- and she saved all the letters

3:22 am

Christine

Pay 'phone have all but disappeared. The Postal Service removed the boxes, and saved on the salaries of the collectors.

3:22 am

sprite

real letters are so nice. I still write them and receive them. But I love email and skype.

3:23 am

sprite

and hi, dizgrannie :)

3:23 am

dizgrannie

Christine, most of our payphones here are by prepaid cards only

3:23 am

dizgrannie

hey ya sprite and all

3:23 am

rubyfoo

hello diz!

3:24 am

rubyfoo

does unsit mean stand up?

3:24 am

dizgrannie

hey Ruby

3:24 am

Christine

Even I now have a cell phone (about 3 years) but not everyone has a home phone, and the payphones were always busy, when I passed by, so I think there's some call to leave a few.

3:24 am

sprite

and undie is living

3:25 am

rubyfoo

exactly!

3:25 am

rubyfoo

situ

3:25 am

rubyfoo

whoops

3:25 am

sprite

good latin. Stupid enable

3:25 am

Christine

And undies would be living in your bra'n'panties?

3:25 am

rubyfoo

stuid ruby!

3:26 am

sprite

eeeeewwww Christine!

3:26 am

Christine

stuid? is that like stooooopid?

3:26 am

sprite

too stupid to spell.

3:26 am

sprite

oh god sorry, that sounds much ruder than I meant... it was a joke, rubyfoo.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

ooh, that smarts!

3:27 am

rubyfoo

I know, hahahah

3:27 am

dizgrannie

my 83 yr old mum lurves her puter but still sends cards to her 4 dtrs (and partners), 9 g/kids (and partners) and 17 going on 18 great g/kids....she does make her own ones on her puter, which makes it all the more special

3:27 am

sprite

*giggles*

3:27 am

sprite

wow dizgrannie, that is very special. How lovely.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

that is terrific about your mum, diz

3:29 am

dizgrannie

LOL she spends a fortune in ink, but she reckons its worth it cos so much more special for each individual...(guess what us 4 girls buy her for birfy and chrissie...LOL)

3:29 am

sprite

just brilliant. Great family, diz :D

3:30 am

dizgrannie

ty

3:33 am

sprite

...and I memorise each xxxx
just like before....
it's yesterday once more....
(all the *****s are goodies....)

3:35 am

Christine

My son-in-law's parents retired and mooved from their home of 40+ years to a new area - near the coast in England, completely closed up in the winter, and I suggested he buy a laptop for his Mum so she can stay in touch. The Dad pooh-poohs the idea, saying she's too old.

3:36 am

sprite

never too old. No such thing as too old. My grandfather kept learning new things until he was into his 90s.

3:36 am

jhb

Hi Christine - so that's where Chris gets it huh?

3:36 am

rubyfoo

even my husband uses his computer and he can barely type

3:36 am

sprite

hi jhb Christine's sister

3:37 am

Christine

Well, she's lodt touch with all her old friends and neighbours, so I think it'd be good for her - stay in touch with her boys.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

hello christine's sister, now that yur secret is out!!!

3:37 am

Christine

Yes, Christopher takes after his Dad, I think.

3:37 am

jhb

Hi sprite - yes I am Christine's sister in New Zealand. How are you.

3:38 am

sprite

am good, glad to 'meet' you.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

maybe you should just get her a PC and give her lessons

3:38 am

sprite

yep, get her going would help. Once she knows the fun of skype and email, she won't be stopped by a pooh-poohing husband anymore.

3:38 am

Christine

Judith, Marianne and I started Babbling back in 2004, then we all drifted away for a couple of years.

3:39 am

jhb

Quite new to this game rubyfoo and sprite. But hope to get better the more I play. However, I think there is an evil goblin somewhere who puts the grids together - and does he have a monopoly on making up words. He doesn't like my made ups.

3:39 am

Christine

Her other son lives in England, and I'm sure he'd help her get started.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I've been playing for 10 months and still am not very good at it

3:40 am

Christine

Judith, remember you used to play, way back when.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

but friends in the chog help a lot

3:40 am

sprite

jhb, that pretty much sums it up! Enable is very partial on which crazy wo5 are accepted and which ones are not. But the nice part is, what seems crazy shifts after a while ;)

3:40 am

rubyfoo

and I've had fireworks about 4 or 5 times!

3:40 am

jhb

Christine - it was more than a couple of years. I haven't played since around 2004.

3:41 am

jhb

Congrats rubyfoo. so there is hope for me yet?

3:41 am

sprite

my ever recurring advice is: as long as you have fun playing, who cares about fireworks?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

little by litt,e we learn the dopey babblets

3:42 am

rubyfoo

yes, that's how I feel and therefore don't list.

3:42 am

jhb

Great thanks sprite. And now off to clear up the kitchen after dinner. See you all my new friends. I must say you make me very welcome. Nitht.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

bye jhb! maybe see you tomorrow

3:43 am

sprite

best way to learn more, if you ask me. I remembered every babblet or crazy wo4 that was clued to me in chat. But I don't think I would remember if I got them from the list.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

right

3:43 am

sprite

night jhb, have a good evening :)

3:43 am

jhb

Night big sister. Speak soon. Have you managed to speak to our other sister this weekend. I haven't been able to get her.

3:44 am

dizgrannie

so true Sprite...fireworks is a bonus....I just play to see how I do, if close to finishing I'll list...another thing I enjoy is the chog...xxx

3:45 am

sprite

first time I came across 'crwth' and plural, I thought I'd go bananas. Even after they clued it to me. Took me ages to get because I insisted on vowels. Had to learn that w can be a vowel... in some languages, grin.

3:45 am

Christine

No, I guess she's with the g'kids. I'll try again, after the weekend. Goodnight, God bless

3:45 am

rubyfoo

the chog is supportive, informative and fun.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

and truly cross-cultural

3:46 am

dizgrannie

oh and another is when g/dtr is here, she helps a lot. Her ypung bro is starting to help as well and he is only 7 1/2

3:46 am

sprite

I learned at least as much from the chat as from the grids.

3:46 am

sprite

so delightful, diz :D

3:46 am

dizgrannie

ypung = young...sorry

3:47 am

sprite

I submit 'undiet'. I am a fervent fan of it.

3:47 am

sprite

ypung bro sounds almost as a chinese or korean name. I like it.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

me too, it's called eating on demand or per carvings!

3:47 am

sprite

:D

3:47 am

rubyfoo

cravings* hahah

3:48 am

dizgrannie

and another, for my g/kids, they look up all the flags in the Atlas to see where you all are

3:48 am

rubyfoo

taking a break to warm up; the studio is very chilly this AM

3:48 am

sprite

carve out me cravings and shiver me timbers! Rrrrrr!

3:48 am

sprite

that is great too, diz, I bet they don't forget that way!

3:48 am

rubyfoo

scary Sprite the pirate!

3:48 am

sprite

bfn rubyfoo

3:49 am

rubyfoo

bfn?

3:49 am

sprite

bye for now

3:49 am

dizgrannie

no they don't, Sprite, cos its fun learning

3:49 am

rubyfoo

duh, ruby

3:49 am

rubyfoo

*poof* too

3:50 am

sprite

exactly. Fun learning is the best way.

3:50 am

sprite

why duh? No need to know everything and asking what you don't know is always the smart thing to do.

3:50 am

dizgrannie

nightie nite all whos leaving...have 17 left

3:50 am

sprite

well, unless you ask Christine where undies live...

3:51 am

dizgrannie

(undies live under clothes)....sorry couldn't resist...LOL

3:51 am

sprite

great going, diz! I stay. I have 51 left and no speed at all. Cannot get the hang of this grid. Feels like there cannot be that many left!

3:52 am

sprite

lol!

3:53 am

dizgrannie

finally Whipped the W's

3:53 am

sprite

still need 8 of those. But it is good to know from an independent source that they do exist.

3:53 am

dizgrannie

tuff

3:54 am

dizgrannie

damn it is a word....sorry

3:54 am

sprite

ok, that was a bit too independent!

3:54 am

dizgrannie

lol

3:54 am

sprite

giggle

3:55 am

sprite

as is wo**, btw. Come, let's take over the PB and ..... the cupboards (cannot remember, strip it bare)

3:56 am

Christine

?? plunder ??

3:56 am

dizgrannie

"plunder"....'pirates'????

3:57 am

sprite

loot!

3:57 am

Christine

Sounds like Sprite-the-Pirate

3:57 am

sprite

yeah, plunder would be good too :D Thanks.

3:58 am

Trifioso

hello friends. was planning to just lurk a while, but "sprite the pirate" and her loot was too good....I am laughing in the dark here

3:58 am

sprite

you coming too, Christine? Let's make it an illegal PB party.

3:58 am

sprite

hi Trif :D Am glad I brought you out then, love to see you.

3:58 am

sprite

*drags Trif into the PB as well*

3:58 am

Trifioso

happy to go....

4:00 am

sprite

aye mateys, dig into the crrrrates!

4:00 am

Christine

Let's go for it.

4:00 am

Christine

Trifioso - how was Thursday?

4:01 am

Trifioso

oh, thanks for remembering Christine, you dear thing! Thursday was unbelievably sad, which really surprised me. I thought I was over the mourning part, but I guess not. I was very indulgent on Friday - got the kids to school and then wallowed under the covers until noon.

4:02 am

sprite

The hammer went down, Trif?

4:02 am

Trifioso

Breaking the contract of our marriage was work enough. it's the breaking of the covenant that really makes me sad. I will never have a 25th anniversary party. someday my folks will die, and I will sit on the bench alone. when I am old, my kids will have to hire someone to take care of me....

4:02 am

Trifioso

but now I am done. I shall go on from here to paint a new sky.

4:03 am

sprite

(((((((((((((Trif))))))))))))

4:03 am

Christine

For what it's wort, Hun, you'll always have us.

4:04 am

Trifioso

it's worth a lot, christine. you all here have been more supportive than a lot of my friends out of the ether

4:04 am

sprite

yep. My friends and I have made a pact to get together when old and live together and help eachother... you are always welcome to join us. Seriously.

4:05 am

Trifioso

thank you sprite. what a charming picture! a bunch of old ones, sitting around....your friends all going "who's that american? does anyone remember an american?" lolololol

4:05 am

sprite

and I think you will be able soon to let life surprise you... mourn first, then paint that sky and know you are an incredibly lovable woman.

4:05 am

Christine

My daughter and her friend pledged to live together in a pink trailer (Lucille Ball movie?) and learn to play canasta.

4:05 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

4:06 am

Trifioso

morning crossy! can't sleep either, huh?

4:06 am

Christine

Hello, Luv - is Mrs.Crossy playing tonight?

4:06 am

sprite

my friends will all go: "Coffee for you too, or do you prefer tea? Move over from that 'puter, I wanna play too... hey, I'll cook if you drive us to the cinema tonight."

4:06 am

Christine

sorry - playing babble.

4:06 am

sprite

hi crossy :)

4:06 am

crosshair

4:07 am

4:07 am

crosshair

howdy sprite

4:07 am

Christine

I'm going to get tea for the PB -- don't talk about me while I'm gone.

4:07 am

sprite

crossy and Trif, you can come toss and turn with us anytime.

4:08 am

crosshair

aww ty

4:08 am

sprite

why on earth not, Christine, you can read it all back when you get back and rant to us about it :D

4:08 am

sprite

though I really wish you good night's rests... but it is wonderful to see you.

4:09 am

Trifioso

okay, this may be one of those late night kind of thoughts, but, has anyone else noticed that, when you are trying to enter a wo4, and you think it's not going to work, it's like your fingers don't even want to type it? As if my muscles already know the combination of letters won't work...

4:09 am

sprite

so, about Christine... what do you think, guys? A sweet babbler, a wicked sense of humour and an experienced looter of PB cupboards, don't you agree?

4:09 am

crosshair

s,okay sprite ,i have the next 3 days off so i can power nap later if needed;)))

4:10 am

sprite

Trif, yes! LOL I thought I was the only crazy one. How great!

4:11 am

donnab3012

good morning everyone...

4:11 am

sprite

that is nice, crossy, just relax then and let us enjoy your company.

4:11 am

Trifioso

oh, sprite, you and I really ARE kindred spirits, aren't we? I am reminded of a quote I read once: "Friendship is born in that moment when someone says "you too? I thought I was the only one!'"

4:11 am

sprite

morning donnab

4:12 am

crosshair

i got one for you trif,and i believe this happens only to cronic babblers.have you ever finished a grid,been cluing a bit and find yourself still hunting for words even though you know you are done?

4:12 am

crosshair

howdy donna

4:12 am

Trifioso

4:12 am

sprite

I feel we are, Trif. Would LOVE to have you join us in that old people house we are gonna live in :D

4:13 am

Trifioso

i am more and more convinced it's where I belong, sprite! I will bring the scones.

4:13 am

sprite

crossy, absolutely! I really type them in too. While I already have finished. Oh god this is good, I am not as crazy as I thought :D

4:13 am

Trifioso

I actually just finished reading a book where a lot of the scenes happened in a coffee shop named "a woman sconed"

4:13 am

crosshair

no,it is all part of the condition lol

4:13 am

sprite

Christine

I hav e a neighbor who sleeps as little as I do; I think she sits in her window and waits for my kitchen light to go on, because whenever i go in to make my cuppa, she comes over to chat.

4:22 am

Christine

Oh, and your PB goodies are safe from me -- I don't snack.

4:22 am

4:23 am

Christine

A year ago, I decided to give up sugar, so I also stopped eating desserts, candies all those goodies. Don't even miss them, now.

4:24 am

Trifioso

wow, christine, that is really good to hear. I have to admit, I have been thinking of trying to do the same, as I feel I crave it more than ever these days

4:24 am

sprite

am kind of doing that too now. Stopped snacking. But I have some days I cannot keep it up yet.

4:25 am

crosshair

4:25 am

(praise the L4, dentist is a phantom)

4:25 am

crosshair

do not forget to join me and many other babblers in our folding at home group.become an active participant in the hunt for cancer cures! our babble team number is 173981 just Google folding at home from Stanford U for the download client

the best way i can describe folding at home is the professors at stanford U have created a way to harness our spare and unused computer bandwidth cycles and put them all together to work as a single unit to "fold" human proteins and try and map the changes in cancerous and non cancerous "folds" in this way we can better understand it and eventually alter it before cancer evolves.the web site at folding at home will explain it better than i can:)

4:26 am

sprite

I really don't understand the folding at home. Do I have to keep my computer running day and night for that?

4:26 am

Trifioso

thanks for posting that crossy. I have no clue what it means, but I will check out the si4

4:26 am

dizgrannie

4:26 am

crosshair

4:27 am

dizgrannie

okies thanx

4:27 am

sprite

4:28 am

Trifioso

I should be getting my sunday school lesson ready, but you guys are too entertaining

4:28 am

crosshair

Thanks crosshair, i will definitely be following this one up. On the subject of helping, does anyone support Kiva?

4:32 am

dizgrannie

Sara, whats Kiva

4:33 am

crosshair

it is very safe sprite,just google folding at home and and you will be sents to the Stanford U folding at home site.there you can download the client suitable to your computer.then all you do is imput you babble name and our team number that is in my profile

4:34 am

Trifioso

I do sara....I gave my mom a card for mothers day that said I had taken out a microloan in her name, and when that loan was repaid I rolled it over, and we have done so several times since.

4:34 am

crosshair

and i would not even suggest it in here if it were not safe;)

4:34 am

Trifioso

My mom is an avid knitter, so we usually choose women who are working with textiles (seamstresses, knitters, etc) for our recipients

4:34 am

sprite

maybe if you would add this info to your profile (about the how to join and the URL, more babblers would do it?
You got me, btw, am going to join.

4:35 am

Trifioso

I am joining too. we have an extra computer downstairs that sits idle...MUCH better to have it happily folding all day

4:35 am

crosshair

it is all in my profile,but i shall add the url as well

4:35 am

crosshair

yes trif! a idle computer is perfect for this

4:36 am

SaraY

An organisation that funds, at $25 per donation, a person or organisation trying to better their lives. Usually in a 3rd world country. Better to check Kiva online than for me to go on in detail. I started with a $25 Christmas present from my elder daughter Jessica. Jessica now has over 100 accounts purely by way of redistributing repayments to previous loans.

4:36 am

Trifioso

hang on -- stop the presses. was just looking in your profile, and saw photo of a little girl...since when do you have a daughter too? I only knew about the teenage boy at home...!

4:36 am

dizgrannie

can some explain in dumb terms how an idle computercan 'fold away'...plz

4:37 am

dizgrannie

thanx for that Sara...xxx

4:37 am

SaraY

Trifioso, fantastic, help me spread the Kiva word!!

4:38 am

Trifioso

will do sara. it's amazing how one donation can turn into so many future loans....

4:38 am

crosshair

ok everyone the url is also now in my profile,just refresh a few times

4:38 am

sprite

crossy, should I pick the first or 2nd choice for windows XP?

4:38 am

sprite

will check that out as well, SaraY and Trif

4:39 am

crosshair

the first one sprite

4:39 am

sprite

thanks crossy

4:40 am

crosshair

and trif,those are not my kids,flickr has put those in there from someone calling themselves crosshare and i am crosshair..gues we confuzzled them

4:40 am

Trifioso

oh, okay! I was totally confuzzled myself there for a minute!

4:41 am

Christine

I'm definitely computer-illiterate (heck, I'm still trying to work-out retractab;e ballpoint pens) so how do we find a cure for cancer, when our computer is 'tuned' to babble?

4:42 am

Trifioso

sprite, btw, have you read the 19th wife?

4:42 am

crosshair

yes diz,what you are doing is donating bandwidth that gets collected and used with all the other idle bandwidth from other donators and the actual folding is done at stanford,but you get to see the action on your rig,and if by some lucky chance our team unlocks a key protien,we can actually get it named after us;0

4:43 am

Trifioso

"and the nobel prize in science this year goes to....Babble!"

4:43 am

crosshair

and my fellow scentists i am proud to show you the "babble key protein!!"

4:44 am

sprite

no Trif, will write that down!

4:44 am

Trifioso

dr god would beam with pride!

4:44 am

Christine

trifioso, is 19th wife the one with woman sconed?

4:44 am

sprite

crossy, sorry to bother you again. I have run the installer, what now?

4:44 am

Trifioso

actually, yes, christine, tho I had already forgotten that

4:45 am

crosshair

once you have downloaded it,just open it and it will guide you through the set up where you input your babble name and team number

4:46 am

crosshair

once that is done the folding icon will appear in the botton right of yer task bar

4:46 am

Christine

Crosshair, I will also need you to walk me through this. I'm going to start it now. Back soon.

4:46 am

crosshair

i also pin it to my start menu,so i do not have to hunt for it each time i turn on my puter

4:47 am

Trifioso

heres something fun -- I took my mom to see tertiares game last night (she is a cheerleader). it was FREEZING, so we only stayed for three quarters, and then headed home. as we approached the parking lot, we saw a truck with the lights on -- and the lights were flashing. we approached the truck and discovered the source: in the drivers seat was a HUGE boxer dog, wearing a ladies' pink winter jackets (complete with fur lined hood) pushing all the buttons on the dash with her paws. We about peed our pants laughing!

4:47 am

crosshair

and everyone,unless you have a computer that is over 2 gig or less that 2 years old,do not use the display option unless you have nothing else running

4:48 am

crosshair

you just right click the icon and go to status to check up on team or individual totals and that is it!

4:48 am

crosshair

lol trif! that is funny!

4:49 am

sprite

lol Trif, priceless!

4:49 am

Trifioso

we did feel a bit sorry for the owner - hope that battery is still good by the end of the game

wow Trif, that is cool. I use a very normal one. But cannot find it right now. Your 19th wife and the Connie Willis name are on a slip of paper now...

5:00 am

crosshair

everone,check this out .it is a great little program to help you choose your next book http://bookseer.com/

5:01 am

Trifioso

there is a great little series of books called something like "a year in the merde" that I found incredibly entertaining

5:01 am

m9f9l

that's a cute notebook.... most kids now won't get it.LOL

5:01 am

Trifioso

thanks crossy!

5:01 am

sprite

geezzz m9 did you ask an actual babble grid related question?? Tsk.

5:02 am

crosshair

there is a grid?

5:03 am

Trifioso

crossy, LOVE that site! thanks for the rec

5:03 am

m9f9l

very cute crossy

5:03 am

crosshair

it is very handy and i love it also triff

5:03 am

sprite

fun, crossy, thanks

5:04 am

crosshair

np:)

5:04 am

Trifioso

M9, I work as a clinician for student with receptive and expressive language issues, esp with regards to reading, and we have found there are a whole load of things children today cannot visualize at ALL - records and record players, rotary phones, telegraphs, busy signals, tv antennas, etc.

5:04 am

crosshair

you will never be stuck for a good read again;)

5:05 am

Trifioso

the other clinicians and I add to the list all the time.

5:05 am

sprite

lol I just tried and got a list of books I already read!

5:05 am

SaraY

Been concentrating on the grid so missed quite a bit of chatterbox - just a reminder about Kiva as the more supporters the better for the world and people/groups trying to make a difference to their own lives and their country's independence on aid.

5:05 am

crosshair

same as the generation before triff.can you or i recognize a walking beam steam engine for a paddle wheel steam boat?

5:05 am

Trifioso

what language do you read most books in sprite? if you don't mind me asking

5:06 am

m9f9l

but they text really fast and have girl/boyfriend at 7 or so..... right?

5:06 am

sprite

I told my kids when they kept repeating themselves: Your needle is stuck. They had to be explained, lol.

5:06 am

sprite

mostly english, Trif.

5:06 am

Trifioso

actually m9, most of the kids I work with would not text, no, sadly.

5:07 am

Trifioso

it's a great day for us when they get confident enough with their word skills to TRY texting! isn't that funny!?

5:07 am

m9f9l

ah....

5:07 am

m9f9l

heartbreaking actually.

5:07 am

Trifioso

so basically I work to create little texting monsters....lol

5:07 am

sprite

no, not funny, sad. But great they get help from people like you.

5:08 am

m9f9l

no wonder though.. the way reading is presented... I helped my next door neighbor girl with her "reading homework" a couple years ago and wanted to tear my hair out.

5:08 am

crosshair

i had a sad revelation yesterday,my kid is getting better at comuters and electronic than i am..i imagine i shall be put out to pasture with those type of chores in short order;("

5:09 am

Trifioso

I love seeing how they blossom and grow....sadly, I am not sure what is going to become of that beloved job of mine. I adore it (most days) and I think I could say I am really good at it, but I don't get many hours due to the low client load this year, and at the payrate I am at....I just can't keep us afloat. will have to get something else soon. hopefully in addition to, not instead of

5:09 am

crosshair

triff ,it is good work you do indeed,my biggest debt of gratitude is to the unknown and unsug teacher who helped me to read

5:09 am

crosshair

unsung

5:09 am

sprite

Will keep my fingers crossed for you, Trif.

5:09 am

m9f9l

I was her babysitter for a while.. so after that I would just kind of do the homework for her (just get through it as fast as possible) and then read to her from good books with beautiful language.

5:10 am

Trifioso

man, I am going to be a yawning fool at church today

5:10 am

crosshair

i may never remember her,but her work carries on forever in me;0

5:10 am

sprite

I taught my kids to read before school, and kept them at it. Read english with them before they got it at school too. Cannot leave that to schools, nowadays. Reading should be fun, an adventure, a door to other worlds.

5:11 am

m9f9l

my church doesn't start until 1 pm

5:11 am

sprite

wow m9, that is the way to go

5:11 am

Trifioso

what time to you get out?

5:11 am

m9f9l

well... in January it will start at 9 am...

5:11 am

sprite

Trif, yawning yes, a fool no.

5:11 am

m9f9l

4 pm. We go for 3 hours.

5:12 am

Trifioso

why does it change to such an early time in january? I am thinking in the winter the extra time to arrive would be welcome?

5:13 am

m9f9l

two congregations share the building. So right now they go at 9

5:13 am

m9f9l

we switch every year.

5:13 am

Trifioso

oh, i see. how lovely that you share with another church!

5:14 am

m9f9l

same church. Just different set of us.LOL

5:15 am

Trifioso

our church has an education bldg with a huge lower room. a dance school rents it out....it's hilarious. If you are on a committee, you attend meetings whilst lady gaga, or some other pop star is blasting up through the floors

5:15 am

sprite

lol

5:15 am

Christine

Our Church haad a Korean congregation and a Phillipino congrgation. Occasionally we'd meet at some events, like the Church Bazaars and th children's Christmas program.

5:15 am

m9f9l

wow...

5:17 am

Trifioso

whoops just found the needle case...fishy today

5:17 am

and finally fireflies. Not sure the grid was tough or it was just the great chog, lol. Nah I know. The grid was tough.

5:17 am

5:17 am

m9f9l

when traveling cross country we went to church and it just so happened to be a spanish speaking meeting!LOL

5:17 am

Trifioso

huzzah for sprite!!!!

5:18 am

did you all see my cutlery clock, btw?

5:18 am

m9f9l

good going.

5:18 am

Trifioso

do you speak spanish m9? gosh, I hope so, or that would be a loooooong time to sit

5:18 am

Trifioso

i did notice it sprite! charming

5:19 am

sprite

wouldn't mind that one in my kitchen, lol

5:19 am

m9f9l

no we don't! We didn't stay. Sacrament is the important thing. We had already planned on only staying for that.

5:19 am

Trifioso

excellent m9!

5:19 am

m9f9l

And that part I know so well that I understood it.

5:20 am

Trifioso

oh, God wouldn

5:20 am

Trifioso

wouldn't mind in the least!

5:20 am

sprite

got to be off, thanks all for the great time. You are exceptional people, all of you. *hugs*

5:20 am

m9f9l

what I'd really like sometime is to go to a deaf congregation meeting.

5:20 am

m9f9l

My friend was going to one for a while.

5:21 am

Trifioso

BIG hug, sprite! remember to save me a seat in your elder home

5:21 am

crosshair

gn sprite.sleep tight

5:21 am

sprite

consider it reserved for you, Trif.

5:21 am

Trifioso

thank you dear one

5:22 am

Trifioso

crossy, do you have to check on the folding program now and then? what I mean is, if I set it up on an idle pc and leave it running, how often would I need to check it to see if it's finished, or does that happen?

5:26 am

SaraY

It is a mystery to me how you all divide time between doing the grid and keeping in touch with each other - I feel I am failing at both! Maybe friendships are so 'set in stone' that they take precedence over filling in the word gaps.

5:28 am

Trifioso

saray, what i find is that entries in the grid come to me in spurts. I will find several wo4s, and then nothing for a bit. chogging freshens my eyes for looking back at the grid

5:28 am

crosshair

triff,it will run unattended as long as you wish it to

5:28 am

m9f9l

hi Sara.. I just bounce back and forth.LOL

5:28 am

Christine

SaraY - I love your note about convict stock - I have a friend who tells people her gr.gr.grandma was sent to Australia because she was a "naughty girl".

5:28 am

SaraY

Looking over what I wrote I am worried it may be taken the wrong way - friendships, and keeping in touch, must take precedence.

5:29 am

Christine

Crosshair, must the computer be in use to generate whatever the folding uses?

5:29 am

crosshair

that is what i do also,chat up the ladies a bit,till my eyes can pick out more words in the grid;)

5:29 am

Trifioso

crossy, I made the link to the folding project my FB status. hopefully others will join there

5:29 am

one of my english friends' brother got in a PILE of trouble on his way to Oz. At the passport check he was asked if he had a criminal record, and he answered "Didn't know I still needed one!" and the officer was NOT amused. but I was!

5:31 am

crosshair

it can be in idle or power save mode,but it must be on

5:32 am

Christine

Trifioso - that's priceless

5:32 am

crosshair

want some real fun triff? when he says"do you have anything to declare?" just say "other than that kilo of coke,not really" lol

5:33 am

SaraY

Christine, that was so true - one of my ancestors was sentenced to death in East Sussex, England, for highway robbery and sheep-stealing and had his sentence commuted to transportation to Tasmania for life.

5:33 am

Trifioso

on my way into ireland, the guy asked if I had any electronics with me, and I answered yes, I had an electric toothbrush, and he said "ooh, very posh!" in a way that made me lol for about 10 minutes

5:33 am

Christine

Maybe the last question (but probably not) the bloomin' thing asked if I want to open or save the file; what do I answer --- I truly am computer-illiterate.

5:33 am

crosshair

open it

5:34 am

Christine

As my Governator says I shall returrrrn.

5:34 am

then it will walk you tru the set up,just use your babble name and the babble team number in my profile

5:35 am

SaraY

m9f9l - I agree it is the best way or else one (reminds me of QEII) could get bogged down.

5:35 am

crosshair

you think that is bad sara? my ancestor got a aussie town named after him..a dubious honor at the time seein what it was used for

5:36 am

crosshair

i still think i should get discounts when i visitA;)

5:36 am

m9f9l

I like it that you have photography as your first interest;-)

5:37 am

m9f9l

poor little me...left out... alas, no criminals of note....

5:37 am

crosshair

i think it was because he got caught "educating" the young princess at the time lol

5:39 am

SaraY

crosshair - reveal all, who was your ancestor and what is the town - I am intrigued? Ancestors, good or bad depending on the mood of their day, are worthy.

5:39 am

crosshair

quite the scandal,he was 54,she was 19 lol

Crosshair - I opened the file, as you said, but it did nothing after that, just posted a picture in the upper lefy corner of the screen. Didn't ask me for my name, or your number. Hope it went through.

5:46 am

his THIRD sex scandal! Third time's the charm I guess...

might be one more great in there,not sure

5:48 am

i hope so as well christine,but if you did not get a chance to imput the team number,i think not

5:48 am

crosshair

triff got it set up op,perhaps she can help you better than my insomniac fumbling and stumbling

5:49 am

SaraY

Gout is very painfiul, according to a friend. I am sure there are manyxxx skeletons in any closet associated with Oz. Hence a wonderful human experience surpassed by anywhere in the world (spoken by a true Ozzie!). Please excuse any questionable exuberance associated with a bout of sad news and too much wine!

5:49 am

m9f9l

gout always makes me think of the movie "Captain Blood"

MollyL

I've never heard of a cinnamon allergy either. Oh well Pav, you'll have to pass on the oatmeal cookies. They are loaded with cinnamon.

1:34 pm

LeslieAnn

you're right. the four c's easy to remember.

1:34 pm

PAV3

vegan....hmmm? no cookies? OMG! quick! let's travel across the pond, grab NB and bring him back "to the States" for unauthorized indoctrination into the ways of overweight (in general) society

1:34 pm

carleekat

i need the staples... but i am so "craving" driven in my eating and shopping..i canno abide with the spaghetti on monday, meatloaf on tuesday, soup and sandwich wednesday way of life

1:36 pm

PAV3

i have oatmeal every Sunday...nad pancakes occasionally when the kitchen is cleaned and ready for more messes, which it isn;t at the moment...

1:37 pm

Nancy Boy

just no animal products. no meat, fish, dairy, poultry or eggs. and it doesn't make a single bit of difference to my life, apart from I feel glowingly healthy!

1:37 pm

carleekat

i have no idea what a meal will be on the next day...( unless i am planning a big meal with loads of prep..ie a curry night or turkey dinner etc ....it could at 5 pm be decided we are having roast beef with all the fixins including yorkshire puddings

1:37 pm

MollyL

So, just fruits and veggies NB?

1:38 pm

PAV3

of course, in order to grab NB, we'll have to schedule a vacation, plan the tours,etc, and arrange for him to pick us up and act as tour guide...and then we'll surprise him!

i could give up meat...but....i'd have to have fish once in a while... i never miss meat... cheese...not a huge cheese eater...like it but...i rarely crave it... butter...oh man...i cannot live without butter...fresh chewy bread slathered in butter

1:44 pm

carleekat

1:46 pm

carleekat

1:46 pm

carleekat

1:46 pm

Nancy Boy

Shivs Fitz

Oh yes, Soodle... George has been to Egypt and tells us how sexist they are! He says men there chase after the women tourists from other countries who aren't all covered up too!

2:27 pm

Soodlebum

Its a very strange country. We were there when Sharm-El-Sheik was bombed - about 20 minutes away. I volunteered as a blood donor - but they told me that I was a tourist, and not to be worrying about all those dead and dying people. Very strange!

indeed the guy i work with is from new deli india and still firmly believes in the caste system and pre arranged marriages and to work to death those born to a "lower family" he says it is natural for who will do the menial work.i told hims that why people over there are starving to death on $1.25 a day

2:34 pm

2:35 pm

Jellen

I'll keep plugging away at it!

3:28 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Shiv. I have been in and out but quiet all day.

3:29 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hiya... haven't been on here all day but for a while now on and off. I'm not finding this the easiest puzzle!

3:30 pm

Bugsaw

Your brother wants me to post a real picture of myself instead of a real little kid one. I am still debating why I would show everyone a chubby middle aged lady...... Still, he has been so helpful I think I owe him

3:31 pm

carleekat

ok...casserole is casseroling as it should...potatoes are peeled and ready for boiled when the time arives..pouring myself yet another glass fo wine...wth !!!

3:32 pm

carleekat

( and that..is the end of that bottle...yea...major milestone for me today ( pathetic as that sounds)

3:32 pm

car.eeyore

carlee...is the "fo" supposed to be OF or does it stand for FULL OF?

3:32 pm

Shivs Fitz

Whose brother, mine?

3:33 pm

Bugsaw

Yes yours. He knows all about computers and has walked me thru all kinds of weird stuff.

3:33 pm

carleekat

of wine..sorry..common typo for me...with or without wine

3:33 pm

Shivs Fitz

Nothing wrong with being middle aged or chubby... many great people are in those categories, including him, LOL! It's the person you are who matters! :o)

3:34 pm

car.eeyore

I thought it was new babble shorthand for full off and I thought, "how clever"/1

3:34 pm

Shivs Fitz

He still posts his photos... on there, not so much here unless they're ones from his childhood, LOL.

3:34 pm

Bugsaw

Thank you Shiv! You are absolutely correct. I tend to forget that when it comes to myself!

3:35 pm

Bugsaw

If I ever find these last 27 words, I will look for a photo I am in and put it on my To Do List for today.

3:36 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes... go to his page, see the photos and clips in his blogs and you'll see what I mean about him, LOL. He doesn't care, says he's "fat but still fab!" :o)

3:37 pm

Jellen

Hi, Bugsaw...was away for a few minutes...

3:37 pm

Bugsaw

Shiv the biggest difference between he and I is that he is an extrovert and I am an introvert. I could never go into his profession

3:37 pm

Bugsaw

I jellen. Are finding this grid distracting?

3:38 pm

Shivs Fitz

I couldn't either, Bugsaw... good thing we don't all want to do the same things in life though or nothing would get done in society, I say!

3:38 pm

Jellen

I am distracted from this grid, lol

3:38 pm

Bugsaw

I agree totally. We all have our special gifts so we can all take care of each others needs without even trying

3:39 pm

Jellen

I really need to go downstairs and work a little on my kitchen...but it's such a big project I don't know where to start!

3:39 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes... like pieces to a puzzle, we all fit somewhere!

3:40 pm

car.eeyore

Jellen...I will come do your kitchen if you come unpack and put away all my boxes/111

3:40 pm

car.eeyore

(not on my usual computer...can't find shift key)

3:40 pm

Bugsaw

Jellen have you tried something like doing a picture puzzle or knitting? I find it helps to do something that takes my entire concentration but doesn't matter if I stop whenever I feel like it

Oh that sounds beautiful, Bugsaw... do you know jillibus? She is somewhere out there, isn't she?

3:43 pm

carleekat

oh my god..seriously???a girl friend of mine ( not close) but old school mate is in comox valley..she a tutor

Now I feel guilty and should go tackle a few boxes.

3:45 pm

3:45 pm

Shivs Fitz

That's it, carlee... put them to work, LOL.

Jellen

3:48 pm

Shivs Fitz

I didn't get any notice, Jellen?

3:48 pm

Bugsaw

Last time I moved I stopped as soon as I found the teapot. Things stayed in boxes for months as I got used to not having them. It was much easier to donate or sell them once I realized I had not missed it for months.

3:49 pm

Jellen

shivsfitz @ live, etc.?

3:49 pm

Shivs Fitz

That sounds like me, Bugsaw... the teapot's the most critical thing, everything else can wait, LOL. Oh, that and the kettle of course!! ;o)

4:00 pm

Bugsaw

It is much easier when your kids are grown Shiv

4:01 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes, Bugsaw... not in any hurry for them to do that though, trying to enjoy then while I still have them at home, because they grow up much too fast!!

4:02 pm

Shivs Fitz

It seems one moment they're babies and the next they're starting school... where does it go?

4:03 pm

Bugsaw

I have no idea on that one. I just know some days seem especially long and others went by in a flash. Enjoying them at every stage is key tho

4:03 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes... being so busy, most of mine go by in a flash!

4:05 pm

carleekat

4:07 pm

One of my kids favorite memories is the day I let them go outside, fully dressed and play in mud puddles.

another fun dorky campfire memory i have with my kids ( as recently as this summer.they are 18 and 14).MY SON ( 18) is determined to teach his sister and his mother to spit like a man..so anytime we are alone at the campfire..the spitting lessons ensue

4:15 pm
